EventType

Contains the metadata about a type of event that is reported by Amazon Health. The EventType shows the category, service, and the event type code of the event. For example, an issue might be the category, EC2 the service, and AWS_EC2_SYSTEM_MAINTENANCE_EVENT the event type code.

You can use the DescribeEventTypes API operation to return this information about an event.

You can also use the Amazon CloudWatch Events console to create a rule so that you can get notified or take action when Amazon Health delivers a specific event to your Amazon Web Services account. For more information, see Monitor for Amazon Health events with Amazon CloudWatch Events in the Amazon Health User Guide.
